Positive global cues may push markets higher, but expect volatility due to F&O expiry
Equity tips:-
- Indian markets are set to open slightly higher on Thursday following positive sentiments prevailing in Asian markets and positive hangover from Wall Street. The SGX Nifty, which was trading at 10,046, up by 15 points, also indicated that the local indices may open slightly higher. Today is the expiry day for July F&O contracts, so expect some volatility in the second half of trading session.
- Nifty50 managed to close above five digit mark of 10,000 for the first time ever. Now, going forward, Nifty50 may face resistance in the zone of 10,080-10,100 level. On the other hand, the levels of 9,930-9,940 will act as a crucial support zone from a near term perspective.
- Key results for the day: Dr Reddy's Laboratories, HCL Tech, ICICI Bank, ITC, Maruti Suzuki, ONGC, Exide, Glenmark, Biocon, Idea Cellular, Syngene, Reliance Capital, Tata Elxsi.
